395: Chapter 395 Interception

After dealing with those foolish thieves, Chen Hu rode his horse out of the canyon path.

Another 50 miles ahead, he would arrive at a city.

However, after traveling another twenty-something miles, he discovered two groups of people fighting in the wilderness by the roadside.

Neither group was very strong. The strongest was only at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

Chen Hu's appearance made both groups tense up. But upon sensing that Chen Hu had no cultivation, they both relaxed.

Truth be told, although these two groups had low cultivation, their fight was quite spectacular.

Chen Hu watched for a while. The fight finally ended, and he planned to leave.

But just then, a burly man at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer flew over, blocked his path, and said mockingly:

"Kid, was that scene just now interesting?"

"It was alright," Chen Hu nodded.

"Since it was interesting, you won't die in vain!" The burly man's eyes turned cold, and he struck a palm toward Chen Hu.

The palm wind, imbued with magic power, rushed straight toward Chen Hu's face, but dispersed the moment it came within thirty centimeters of his body.

Seeing this, the burly man couldn't help but be stunned. He immediately realized that the young man on the horse didn't lack cultivation; rather, his cultivation was so high that they couldn't perceive it.

"Senior, I was rude just now, please forgive me!" The burly man immediately admitted defeat and bowed respectfully to apologize.

"Sever one of your arms," Chen Hu said indifferently.

The burly man gritted his teeth and eventually severed his left arm.

"You're sensible enough," Chen Hu said indifferently, then rode his horse toward the city ahead. As for the incident just now, he didn't care about it at all.

Before long, Chen Hu arrived at a city called Wangxian and checked into a high-end inn.

With a thought, the System interface appeared. A month had passed, and his subordinates had only increased by 16.209 trillion, bringing the total to 219.9445 trillion. He closed the System interface.

Chen Hu left the inn and headed toward a restaurant in the city called Dragon Tiger Tower. According to the information captured by his Divine Sense, there was a famous dish at the Dragon Tiger Tower in Wangxian City—Dragon Tiger Fight.

The ingredients for this dish came from two types of Yao Beast: the Python Yao and the Tiger Yao. The price of this dish was not low, costing 3,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Ordinary Cultivators truly couldn't afford it.

"Welcome, guest, please come in!" Seeing Chen Hu step into the restaurant, a waiter immediately rushed up to greet him.

"I heard your restaurant has a dish called Dragon Tiger Fight, so I came specifically to taste it," Chen Hu said.

Hearing this, the waiter's eyes lit up, immediately knowing a big spender had arrived. He promptly led Chen Hu to a private room on the second floor.

After pouring Chen Hu a cup of spirit tea, the waiter reminded him: "Guest, the Dragon Tiger Fight dish takes some time to prepare, so please wait half an hour, is that alright?"

"No matter," Chen Hu waved his hand.

Seeing that Chen Hu was willing to wait, the waiter withdrew, and subsequently, a maid brought snacks and spirit fruits.

Time gradually passed while Chen Hu waited. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.

The waiter who had received him knocked and entered, looking awkward as he said: "Guest, there was a slight mishap with your Dragon Tiger Fight. Could you wait another half an hour? As an apology, our restaurant will only charge you 2,000 Spirit Stones for this dish, how about that?"

"What kind of mishap?" Chen Hu asked.

"This?" The waiter looked troubled.

"Speak!" Chen Hu's voice carried a hint of intimidation. The waiter immediately dared not hide anything.

It turned out that Xuanyuan Feng, the son of the Wangxian City Lord, had intercepted Chen Hu's portion of Dragon Tiger Fight to entertain a friend. Although this restaurant had backers, they couldn't afford to offend the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon learning the truth, Chen Hu was somewhat angry. A mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator actually dared to intercept a dish belonging to him, a powerhouse of the Mahayana Realm; he was simply tired of living.

Consequently, he stood up and walked toward the adjacent private room. Seeing this, the waiter looked panicked. After thinking about it, he didn't stop Chen Hu but instead ran to report to the manager.

Inside the adjacent private room, Xuanyuan Feng said with a smile: "Come, Brother Situ, hurry and taste this. The Dragon Tiger Fight is a major specialty of our Wangxian City!"

The person addressed as Brother Situ was a young man in black. He was a True Disciple of a Sect with a Nascent Soul expert, and his cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

As for Wangxian City, its City Lord, Xuanyuan Cheng, was only at the Golden Core Third Layer, so Xuanyuan Feng wanted to curry favor with Situ Nan.

"Bang!" At this moment, the door to the private room was kicked open. Hearing the commotion, Xuanyuan Feng and Situ Nan looked toward the door simultaneously and saw a young man in white striding into the room.

"Who are you, daring to disturb this Young Master and his friend's meal?" Xuanyuan Feng snorted coldly.

"Slap!" Chen Hu waved his hand through the air, and Xuanyuan Feng was sent flying from his seat, landing in a sorry state on the floor of the room.

Seeing this, Situ Nan was shocked. This Xuanyuan Feng was at least a Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer existence, yet he was sent flying without any resistance. Moreover, he hadn't sensed any magic power fluctuations. This meant that the strength of the young man in white before him was likely far superior to his own. He just didn't know if he was Golden Core or Nascent Soul.

"Do you know who I am, and you dare to hit me?" Xuanyuan Feng climbed up from the floor, a bright red handprint appearing on his face. He stared fixedly at Chen Hu, his eyes filled with resentment and killing intent.

"I'm not your father, how would I know who you are?" Chen Hu said playfully.

"You're courting death!" Xuanyuan Feng was furious and about to attack. At this moment, Situ Nan shouted: "Wait!"

"This Senior, we don't believe we have offended you. Why did you strike Young Master Xuanyuan?" Situ Nan asked quite politely.

Chen Hu glanced at the basin of Dragon Tiger Fight on the table: "I have waited a full half-hour for this dish!"

"You actually hit me over a dish?" Xuanyuan Feng roared.

"Isn't that enough?" Chen Hu said.

"Go to hell!" Xuanyuan Feng could finally no longer hold back and summoned the High Grade Magical Artifact from within his body, which turned into a ray of sword light and attacked Chen Hu.

"Clang!" Chen Hu reached out and used two fingers to pinch the High Grade Magical Artifact sword that was shooting toward him.

"Crack, crack, crack!" The next moment, the High Grade Magical Artifact sword between his fingers shattered and turned into fragments.

Seeing this, Situ Nan was terrified. Breaking a High Grade Magical Artifact with bare hands—his strength likely already surpassed the Golden Core Realm; he was a powerhouse of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Consequently, he hurriedly said: "Senior, this matter has nothing to do with me. May I take my leave first?"

"Go," Chen Hu waved his hand.

Situ Nan felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He immediately flashed out of the private room, rushed out of the restaurant, and rode his sword light to fly away toward the outside of the city. He couldn't afford to provoke a Nascent Soul Realm big shot, and even the Sect behind him couldn't afford it either. As for Xuanyuan Feng, he wasn't familiar with him.

"Thud!" Inside the private room, Xuanyuan Feng also realized the situation and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Senior, this little one was wrong. I am willing to compensate you, please spare my life!" As he spoke, he immediately took out his Storage Ring and offered it with both hands: "Senior, this is all of my worldly possessions!"

"Forget it," Chen Hu took the Storage Ring: "I will spare your life today!"

At this moment, the restaurant manager had arrived and happened to see the scene of Xuanyuan Feng kneeling on the ground offering the Storage Ring. How could he not understand that the young man in white before him had a great background or was very powerful.
